About the Program
The program leverages experiential learning, behavioral theory, and coaching principles to help participants increase self-awareness, enhance communication and collaboration skills, and lead with greater intentionality and impact.
The program is delivered virtually over seven months (with three in-person gatherings) and includes a self-rated assessment, facilitated group learning modules, group coaching, and an online learning hub.
